Last month, I introduced you to a new blog feature called What the @#$% is that?

You can go here to check it out, or here to see how I selected a winner

Or if you’re lazy like me and don’t like to click links because you’re afraid you’ll never find your way back, allow me to recap.

Pythagoras can be a bit absentminded. As in “I can’t find my pants” absentminded. This, combined with the fact the he has a variety of unusual hobbies, habits, and interests, means I frequently find unidentifiable objects lying around the house.

Here’s the latest:
Any ideas what it might be? I’d love to hear your guesses – silly or serious. Leave one in the comments and you’ll be entered to win a lovely array of writer snacks (some of which were featured in yesterday’s blog post). Don't worry -- those of you who earned an extra entry or two with your comments yesterday have already been added, but play today to get another entry.

Win snacks to fuel an author's mind!

I’ll close the contest at noon PST on Sunday, June 20, which should give me ample time to come up with yet another ridiculous method for selecting the winner. I’ll post that here on Monday, June 21.

The pink in IT matches your blouse! Um..ok it's a cross section of an alien brain. Said alien was unearthed near the Obsidian Flow wearing a t-shirt that when translated said - My parents went to Earth and all I got was this lousy t-shirt?

Looks like it could be part of a drain system for outside, attaches to the down spout. Either that, or well, I can't really say in polite blog company.

PS I read your post yesterday on your snacking habits and almost fell out of my chair when I saw the Sen-Sens. My mother loves those things. They taste like boiled tar but there's no accounting for anyone's taste buds.

I think it's the large intestine from an anatomy model. The upper portion that goes under the stomach. Why you have this I do not know...stray pieces of the anatomy around your house? What is it that you write exactly...hmmmm?

It really does look like the human large intestine, but I really can't see that you'd have that just lying around the house. So I'm going to assume that you are seriously looking at helping out BP with this oil-staunching fabric resembling a gigantic bandage to lay over the surging leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Right? ;)

From the game of LIFE: you have these plastic pieces of roads that the cars go across and that's what it looks like to me. Except you're holding it sideways. I just can't figure out which version it'd be from.

Man, Tawna, I just don't know. I've been racking my poor wee brain all weekend trying to think what it could be. I enlisted the help of Mr. Sierra, who looked closely at the picture until I shooed him away for perhaps staring at your shirt and not the object. (He says he wasn't. But come on. I did UM would have.)

So my guess is going to come down to a detached elephant trunk with a nasty scar down the length, possibly caused by a drug habit picked up during a pass through the notorious Nboro Nboro canyon. That place is SHADY.
